Treating Hemorrhaging Ulcer

if By? HERMAN H. BUNDESEN, M.D. ' IT Is not unusual for an ulcer, of thfe stomach to bleed, even in thesefdays of new and better disfor controlling ulcers. In a great majority of cases, the bleeding can be stopped without surgery. , Usually, the patient does not neglect a bleeding ulcer, and you may be sure the doctor will go into Action as soon as he knows about it. Bleeding can occur at any time witlHan ulcer, and may be the first Symptom warning a person gets that he has one. The blood usually appears in the bowel movement, making it dark and blach. The person is extremely nale hnd weak. He may faint, or vomit ujp a large amount of bright red Wood, v , Prompt Hospitalization [ jurist persons with a bleeding neptlc ulcer are sent to the hospital immediately, put to bed lor strict rest, and checked constantly by! the physician. Sedative drugs Can be of great held'in stopping the bleeding. Frequent blood counts are taken (to Check on the severity\of the hemorrhage, and to find out if it is Certain cases will require small blood transfusions to help’ maintain the right amount and quality of blood.

Less familiar is the idea that our citizens are knOwii to migrate to other countries. Yet many American farmers have been attracted by the opportunities in western Canada. This explains the odd circumstance that the new Canadian ambassador to Argentina, Maj. Gen. L. R.

After five or six days without bleed- j ing, X-rays can be taken to discover the exact location of the hemorrhage, 'hl , Deferred Operation J Many times, rest and medicines will not stop the bleeding from an ulcer, and the doctor will have to consider a surgical operation. Usually, the patient is not well enough for an Immediate operation, and some time is spent in building up his strength. This also gives the doctor a chance to stop the bleeding ,by medical treatment if possible. In a few cases where the bleeding will not let up, an operation is required promptly. Blood transfusions are first given to replace the blood lost and to give the person the\strength he needs for the operation. With careful and diligent treatment, the person with a Wedding ulcer usually does very well. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I J. B.: I have extremely low blood pressure. Would it be harmful for me to drink alcoholic beverages? Answer: If there are, no symptoms from the low blood pressure i and one is normal in other respects, as a rule there is no harm in consuming a limited amount of alcoholic beverages. However, this is a matter for your doctor to decide in your individual case.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE MISS SUSAN'S announcement that loonie had been swimming without stockings with \ Lincoln Calvert was fairly staggering, even to Miss Julie, biit she put as good a face on it as she could. “Weil," she said, forcing a chuckle, “if she showed anything the Lord didn't make, the young man could throw a stick at it." "Tbit's as far as the story gobs —no stockings,” Miss Susan said significantly. “Even if that’s ail, it’s shocking for a gyirl.” "I don’t believe it,” Miss Julie said stoutly. I „ Miss Susan. was disappointed. “I’ve also heard,” she added, “that she's thinking of joining St. Michael’s Church so that she can go there With him.” t “Now that,” said Miss Julie, “is an unqualified lie. You may tell your informant that. No member of our family has ever been an apostajte.” “Os (course I don’t intend to discuss this with anyone," Miss Susan said loftily. , “I am edified to hear you say so,” replied Miss Julie with heavy irony. I “And now I must be getting along. I hope you’ll feel better. I’ll remember you in me prayers. ' h . ■ ’ “Andyou’ll need them,” she muttered 'as Miss Susan hobbled off. “Woe (unto him by whom scandal cometh." She sighed. “Henri Lemay will have a duck fit about this,” (She thought. She! hurried to Coming street. Heloise, at her Monday morning task of sorting the laundry, remarked that Leonie used up a lot of clothing. , > , “ “One thing they must have taught her at college was never to put anything on twice," she said. Mis 4, Julie shook her head at such extravagance. "She’s going to Virginia?" she asked, i “No! Somebody in the family is sick and they’re too busy nursing her. jLeonie wasn’t too disappointed. She didn’t want to go, I could see. She admitted it.” (“Henri was disappointed, I suppose. I had a long talk with him yesterday, and he’s dead Set against this young man.” Heloise shook her head. “And Leonie i s just as dead set on him.” "Has she spoken about persuading him to see the light?” Miss Julie inquired. “Not exactly,” Heloise said. “I tried Xo get her to say that she’d insist, (at least, on his making the right promises. But she wouldn't even db that.” .Miss Julie was taken aback. “If she’s not going to insist,” she said,

“I wash my hands of it all right here and now. There's no good encouraging hertf she isn’t going to save this youngs map’s soul. If it’s going to mean the loss of here —Do you .know what Susan Williams told me this morning? That Leonie was seen bathing at the Isle of Palms with that young man and without any stockings.” “What!” r , “No stockings,” Miss Julie repeated grimly. “That’s how the: tale goes at present. Very soon it will be that she was stark, naked. And after that —” «■ “If Henri hears this it will break his heart," Heloise said. “He’ll never get over it.”, < : “You’d better break it to him, Heloise. Tell him it’s a lie. Make Leonie deny it categorically. Categorically,” she repeated. “I expect to make short work. of anybody that tries to mention it to me. Os course we know what goes on at those Isle of Palms parties. The gyirls take cigarettes from the young men arid smoke them.” She flung up her hands in despair. "Another thing. They say that Leonie is going to join St. Michael’s Church so she can go there' with him." But Heloise laughed at that, “Oh, don’t you be too sure’,” Miss Julie said, t “Gyirls are carried away sometimes. This would be the last straw. There has never been an apostate in our family. Even Henry O’Donneh never xtually left the Church.” “I still don’t believe it” Miss Julie shrugged. “They’ve made a regular yellow-back out of this affair already. They say Leonie is infatuated with\ this young man and that you and Henri can’t do a thing with her ... and that old scandalmonger will embroider it all until Leonie hasn’t, got a shred of reputation left. I’d like to have a good millstone to hang around her neck,” said Miss Julie vehemently, “and I wouldn’t be slow about doing it, either." Heloise did not have a chance to discuss the matter with Leonie, for Leonie did not return until dinnertime. While Henri was hinting gloomily that now people would say he was unable to send Leonie to Virginia, Heloise thought of what she would say to the girl, and when he had left, she went to Leonie’s room. Leonie was resting—frdm what, Heloise had no idea. “Leonie, what’s this I hear about you swimming with that young man with your stockings off?” Leonie turhed very red and her face was stiff with embarrassment. “Is there any harm in that?” she inquired.

"How can you ask that? You know it’s highly improper. It’s immodest and ynmaidenly.” “Lots ot people go swimming without stockings,” Leohie argued. ’"Not'deceht people. Don’t you realize that this boy will have no respect for you whatever if you do things like that? ,And don’t you know that people will build up this gbss|p until they are saying that you went in swimming with nothing on?” “I didn’t think there was any harm in it,” Lconie insisted. "My -Lord, I get tired of having everything I do watched and reported on! I’ve gos a good mind to go away. There must be some way I could earn a living.” “You try it sometime and see how you like it,” Heloise "Now, this is no joking matter. Your uncle is going to be terribly upset. I should think you’d have a little more! consideration for his feelings. He's been good to you.” “I nave my own life to live,” Lconie said. \ "Ami you’re starting out to make a mess of it. Child, can’t you understand ? It won’t be worth living if people get to taking aboht you. Another thing. It’s the talk now: that you are thinking of, giving up your faith, so that you can go to SL Michael’s with Lincoln CalvprL” “Well, 1 never!” Lconie said. “Here I go in to visit the church with him because neither of us had seen it for years and it gets around that I I’m going to join it I tell you, I won’t stand for this Sort of thing much longer. I will run away,” She said furiously. “Don’t talk silly. But just get it into your head that you’re .going ta haye trouble If you go on. Don’t you realize that people think . now that you’re engaged? And if nothing comes of it that they’ll > say you were thrown over?” i ; Leonie looked worried. “But —” . she said. ■ . “But nothing. Now the first thing to do: is to convince ybur uncle that this story about swim- . mi ng barelegged is a lie. You tell him that it simply isn't true and you’ll have te get that boy to back you up.” > X "I don’t like lying,!* Leonie said. “Well, you’ve got to lie] in this.' case. I’ll tell him about it and then he’ll ask you. Tell him it’s i a lie, and keep your temper.” "Vou don’t mean you think he’ll go after Lincoln about It?” “He might. But probably he’ll believe you.

Stassen Campaigns , To Stop Sen. Taft Concedes Chance Of\ Nomination Slight Washington, May 12 — (UP) LHaroid ! E. Stassen conceded today that he has little hope of winning the Republican presidential nomination; and said he is campaigning primarily to “stop” Sen.: Robart A. Taft. I I J‘ : The former Minnesota governor said Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has "the best chance" to win the GOP nomination, but saw a “cdqsiderable” possibility of la TaftEisohower ileadlock at the July convention. 'He picked Gov. Earl Warren of California as the "likeliest” compromise candidate to emerge from a convention -deadlock, but said Gen. Douglas MacArthur also is a "possbiility.” Stassen, in a copyrighted interview with the weekly news magazine U. S- News & World Rieport, said he siad no intention pf ?wiijhdrawibg”;fi\om the GOP race even though he haii picked up only 22 Convention delegates from all the primaries he has entered to; date. While he declined to say directly that he plans to throw his support to Eisenhower at the nominating convention, Stassen said / (lie favbys Eisenhower over any otljer candidate except himself. In other political developments: 1. Sen. Richard B. Russell of. Georgia demanded that former Sen. Claudes Pepper (I>Flg. i withdraw the slate of pro-Russell delegates which he has entered in the May 27 Florida Democratic primary; Noting that Pepper tia* come out- Tor. Sen.

Both\ Democrats and Republicans prepared for another big week of state primaries and conventions.

Then she said to Henri, “Leonie's very unhappy becouse someone has spread a mean story about her. Os course it’s quite untrue.” I "Untrue ?Of course,” Henri said. “What’s untrue, you say?” h "Someone/’ Heloise told hint, "has spread the story that Leonic was in swimming w\ith that Calvert boy without Stockings.” “What ?” Henri roared. “Who says so ?” 1 '' ' “I don’t know who says so?’ Heloise admitted. “Cousin Julie heard it from Miss Susan Williams.” | \ I "I always knew that young blagyard would—” Henri began, and then he stopped. "You’ve asked Leonie about this?” “She says it’s a lie.” “Os course it’s a lie. Leonie wouldn’t do anything like that.” Heloise was relieved. She took this naive declaration of faith Without blinking. “1 hope you won’t say anything to her about it, Brother. The child .feels bad, and she’s so sensitive—” Henri pounded the table. “Say anything to her? I most certainly do intend to say something to her. 1 mean to get to the bottom of this.” “ _ , j ’ “But ■ if the child says she didn’t—” . , «| “Whdtte that got to do. with it?” Henri roared. “Her reputation is ruined; isn’t it? How long before they’ll say that she was in swimming naked, do you suppose ? 1 always knew that boy would bring disgrace and trouble on Us.” | “Brother,l Heloise said, “I’m not deaf.” ' I Henri glared at her. “I knew this," he went on, tragically, “I foresaw it that afternoon on King street when 1 saw that blagyard and I his uncle. Now Leohie will never be able to hold up her head In public again. “Os course we’ll have to go away. I’ll try to find a Job somewhere. It’s not easy at ray ago. wish the code duello was still recognized. I’d call that young scoundrel out, that’s what I’d do.? “Brother,” Heloise said, “you’re talking on for nothing. In the first place, it’s not the young man’s < fault. It’s just somebody who hates Leonie and wants to do her harm —” , , “I’ll track that story down to the person who’s supposed to have I seen her,” Henri raged, "and I’ll 1 bring suit against whoever’ it was < for defamation of character.” i

national convention delegates and the' Democrats will choose 84 this week. A United Press tabulation phowed Taft with 339 delegates and Elsenhower with' 309 in the GOP race. Ketaufer led the Democratic standings with 120%, compared to 94% for W. Averell Harriman and 41 % for Russell. Stassen said that Taft was about to sew up the Republican nomina-tion-without "serious opposition last winter, when he decided to “step in and begin to draw the issues,” particularly by opposing Taft’s “semi-isolationist” foreign policy. He claimed credit for halting the Taft bandwagon, arid skid he now feels that : the Taft forces have “pernjianently missed ( their chance.” i , / SIOO,OOO Goal Set ' For CROP In State Indianapolis, May 12 — A $109,000 goal for 1952 was set for Indiana 4>y members of the statfe committee of the Christian rural overseas program (CRQP).

"I think the right thing to do is , ignore it You don’t want to call j attention to it,” , Henri dropped his plan for liti3 gation. “No, nd,” he said. “We’ll go away. Anywhere, as long as no one knows us there.” Heloise let him, rant a while. “It’s awful for that child,” he told Heloise. ■ “She’s very dissatisfied,” Heloise said. “She says that nothing she can, do isn’t talked about. They also say,” she continued to break the pews- easily, “that she’s going to renounce her faith to marry Lincoln Calvert, because they were seen going into St. Michael’s together to have a look at ft.” “She went into SL Michael’s with him?” ’ ' "Yes.” . Henri groaned. /‘One thing after; another. 1 swear, it’s too much for one man to stAnd. And the worst of it is that 1 almost believe Leonie is so infatuated with that fellow that she’d join his church to please him. I’ll have to have a talk with her.” "If I were you,” Heloise said, "I’d wait and think it over. You know how tempery she is.” “How on earth am I going to control her if I don’t point out to her that she’s doing wrong,? ” Henri demanded. “Well, I mpst say, a lot of it is your fault. We could have avoided all this if you hadn’t persuaded me in the first? place not to say anything against ner going with that rake.” “Yes, you were very silent about it,” Heloise said. “Well, there’s only one thing left to do," Henry said. "I’m going to have a talk with that young scoundrel and point out what his duty is.” “Brother, you can’t be planning to do anything so foolish. Unless you mean that, you’re going to ask what are his intentions,” Heloise said,' lapsing for a moment into her old jocular, manner. Henri looked at her with stately : disdain. - : , “I do not intend to do anything < so common,” he said. "1 am going u to ask him, if he has any instincts i of gentlemanliness, which 1 doubt, ] to leave Leonie alone.” \ . i “Leonie will never forgive you.” i “If he’s got Any shreds of decen- 1 cy, he won’t tell her.

s He .was singularly calm the rest 1 of the evening, did not mention the matter at breakfast, from - which Leonie was absent, and did 1 not eVen bring it up at dinner- > -time. Leonie was uneasy; she had expected a scolding. She was afraid that he might tackle Lincoln about ■ it, and she dreaded that. It would make her ridiculous, and it might drive Lincoln away. For she had to admit that Lincoln was a cautious suitor. Leonie was not in too great a hurry—but she had begun to feel that he was falling into the all-too-familiar pattern of Charleston swains and preparing to take her for granted for an unlimited time. “I wish women had a little more pride,” she said to herself, "and I wish I had more experience with men.” Henri watched Lincoln on the - young man’s next visits, and to his relief it seemed to him that the young man, unless he was a consummate actor or prodigiously endowed with self-control, seemed much more like a good friend than a panting suitor. ? . ' He mentioned this encouraging conclusion to Heloise. “Maybe you’re right,” Heloise said. “Certainly Leonie don’t feel very happy. It seems to me that she’s very quiet” ( Henfi felt a brief tug of pity for the girl. He observed Leonie closely. She did not seem so saucy, she slept late and did a good deal of reading, and several times she had some of the more pious girls of her circle in for visits.
